I remember when GoCatch was the only competition to Uber but they didn't have much work and then they had technical issues. I stopped receiving any pings at all. I'm guessing it's a struggle for them now with Ola and Taxify. Does anyone still log on?

...taxify is going same way as gocatch did,if those morons don't realize that you can not fight bigger guy on bigger guy terms,they will be gone soon...taxify acceptance policy really makes me wonder if they are sane???...
Yeah I'm already deactivated on Taxify (until 2028!!!!). Think they should pack up and go back to Estonia. I couldn't understand their "Activity score". I would accept a job on Uber but before I could switch off Taxify they'd also ping me and I'd let that "time out" but it dropped your score, just nuts.

It's an insult when you try to palm off Gocar economy jobs to the taxis.

It's an even bigger insult, when the booking is an actual GoCatch taxi booking and pays significantly less compared to my taxi meter.

Once bitten, taxi drivers switch off or delete the app because of the underpaying...fact.

Out of curiosity I had your app on last week for my 12 hour taxi shift and only one ping came about...a cheap gocar economy job...app now deleted indefinitely....fact.

Let Ola/UberX/Taxify and cabbies do the cabbie jobs, just focus on corporates.. Outwest Parramatta, Olympic Park, Baulkam Hills should be your mainstream suburbs.

Lots of airport jobs from Northern Subs in the mornings too.

I dont have financial resources to make an action but you guys can clearly achieve it and as soon as you start taking off it will be a privilege to become a GoCatch driver. You just need to run correct PR campaigns and focus on corporates.

Okay....you might get 2 pings in a day.
But underpayment is a real deal breaker.

Have emailed for an underpayment and was denied.
GoCatch taxi booking paid $13...my meter read $25.

Please no more correspondence spin on this matter.

AND don't let me start on the "$5 bonus on every extra job completed"....you have to email mutiple times to get your entitled bonuses.

You have lost the Taxi drivers...fact.

Pppppffftttt Gocatch. Tried to help these losers build their business.

Was suspended twice by these fools for a couple of days each time. Offered the recordings of the trips. They had no interest in hearing the truth.

8500 trips with Uber never had an issue.

Gocatch and Taxify can't even keep drivers that take their time to sign up with them.

We need good competition to Uber with decent commission rates not this waste of time that is Taxify or GOcatch.

Another go! In many major US markets they only have Uber and Lyft, here we have Uber, Ola, Taxify and GoCatch. In reality only 2 can be feasible.
Ola has made some good strategic calls with free rides and ongoing discounts (Meaning deep pockets!) and of critical importance they don't threaten the drivers. Taxify has been truly medieval in its treatment of drivers including deactivation with no warning or explanations other than some obscure scorecard. Good luck with GoCatch.

Taxify are the serial killers of the rideshare industry, Jeffrey Dahmer stuff. One minute you're thinking these people are nice, next minute you're dead! My rating was 4.96 when they deactivated me. GoCatch wasn't this bad but some of their correspondence showed quite a bit of hubris and they didn't have much work and fatally they had tech issues.

GoCatchs problem is they have gone too fancy with all these super cool ideas that no one really cares about.

Drivers are important and it doesn't take much to make them happy, only a couple of simple things. Have they talked to drivers ever?

I drove the guy that started Gocatch home several times. Nice chap. Shame they can't get it right. So close yet so far.

Listen here GoCatch!

I WAS a huge advocate of GC, knew Ned, and felt that with the upcoming IPO along with John Bartolotta's involvement, that GC was about to grow up.

I pushed hard for you guys on this forum, and I haven't said anything about my disappointments until now.

I've discovered a culture of cursory concern from GC, promised call backs numerous times that never happened. Then I get effing fined $20.00 on a advance job that wasn't clear. Your "hugely improved App" doesn't even have a cancel button! With over 25mins before a booking what is the issue if it's cancelled within the first minute?

My vain attempts to get an email response was frustrating. Got the response 10 hours later with the notification that my account was pilfered by GC. I haven't turned on the App since.

I'm not totally giving up on GC yet. How can I give up on the only Aussie competition? But I've given up on Christian keeping to his word and calling me back.

Oh! What is wrong with this photo at T1?

A BIGGER insult is when I'm told I'm not getting economy jobs so I just hit accept. FMD! Go Catch has just turned around a 200k car for an $8.60 job. I felt violated.

GC should talk to the drivers on this forum. The drivers on this forum actually care and think about the ride share industry (well the sane ones).

I don't think they would like what they would hear but the fixes would be simple.

Pray tell? What focus with Royale? How has that manifested in bookings to ALL GoCatch premium cars? Or do I need to be a full-time "Royale" driver?

It's typical of these propeller heads. They live in a vacuum, not wanting to engage, listen to and work with those at the coal face.

The common term that is used by these Tech Heads is that feedback from drivers is "noise".

(I gotta calm down now HofG, I wuz about to sleep, maybe I'll get my walker and roll on down and make me a Horlicks). :D

...uber business is a typical case of a"tail wagging the dog",and you and taxify are typical example of trying to copy,but without a brains ...
...uber has convinced most that uber is paying drivers,where in fact the driver is the one who generate money that you take commission from,without the drivers you are nothing,never forget it!!!!!....
...I had try my hardest to promote gocatch over uber just to be brushed off by your stupid system of putting even most idiotic or scumming pax over honest,hard working drivers...
...once bitten twice shy,you have no idea how many potential riders I have turned away from you,and not out of malice,but just telling how useless gocatch is,anyway,less and less people even ask about you...
...uber has a smart tactics,they know that most of the drivers will realize that things are stack against them,all responsibilities and costs for running the business,hence the illusion that driver is in charge of own destiny,-well-,driver gets the traffic fine!!!-,he did not have to accept the job-,look at yourself and taxify,with your stupid polices of applying pressure on drivers you turning us back to uber,is that what you want?,after trying so hard to get drivers to drive with you??
...uber is evil,but uber,unlike you and taxify,has smarter people working there...thanks for nothing....,you succeeded in turning me away from you and taxify is on good way repeating your mistakes....
...Good Luck...
